Kate Pierson Marries Longtime Partner in Hawaii Ceremony

August 11th, 2015

Kate Pierson married longtime partner Monica Coleman in a small ceremony in Hawaii at the beginning of August.

Pierson’s bandmates in the B-52’s were in attendance, as was singer/songwriter Sia Furler, who co-wrote most of the material on Pierson’s debut solo album, Guitars and Microphones. Furler performed the Guitars and Microphones song “Crush Me With Your Love” during the ceremony, while Fred Schneider gave the best man speech.

Pierson, 67, and Coleman also own and operate a pair of kitschy roadside motels in upstate New York and southern California, Kate’s Lazy Meadow and Kate’s Lazy Desert.
